RLHF 101: A Technical Tutorial on Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback

ML @ CMU

Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) is a popular technique used to align AI systems with human preferences by training them using feedback from people, rather than relying solely on predefined reward functions. Instead of coding every desirable behavior manually (which is often infeasible in complex tasks) RLHF allows models, especially large language models (LLMs), to learn from examples of what humans consider good or bad outputs.

World-Consistent Video Diffusion With Explicit 3D Modeling

Machine Learning Research at Apple

As diffusion models dominating visual content generation, efforts have been made to adapt these models for multi-view image generation to create 3D content. Traditionally, these methods implicitly learn 3D consistency by generating only RGB frames, which can lead to artifacts and inefficiencies in training. In contrast, we propose generating Normalized Coordinate Space (NCS) frames alongside RGB frames.

Prompting Whisper for Improved Verbatim Transcription and End-to-end Miscue Detection

Machine Learning Research at Apple

*Equal Contributors Identifying mistakes (i.e., miscues) made while reading aloud is commonly approached post-hoc by comparing automatic speech recognition (ASR) transcriptions to the target reading text. However, post-hoc methods perform poorly when ASR inaccurately transcribes verbatim speech. To improve on current methods for reading error annotation, we propose a novel end-to-end architecture that incorporates the target reading text via prompting and is trained for both improved verbatim tr
